Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): At the hour of prime Diomede was all prepared to conduct Criseyde to the Greek host, for sorrow at which she felt her heart bleed, not knowing what was best to do. And truly, as people read in books, never was a woman known to have such sorrow or to be so reluctant to leave a city.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 私は、〈愛の神〉の召使いたちのために尽くしておりますが、〈愛の神〉に対し、たとえ死ぬことがあっても、あえて愛の成功を祈願しません、柄にもないことですから。暗間にいる私には神の助けがなかなか及んで来ないのです。しかしながら、この話はどんな恋人にも喜ばれ、恋人の目的に役立てばいいのであって、私は恋人に感謝を捧げ、この労作は私の語り物となりますように！
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 晓日初升，戴沃密得就准备来迎接克丽西德去希腊营中，这时她愁痛得心中流血，始终想不出方法挽救。的确，人们尽可在古书中读到，没有任何女子有她此刻那样感伤，那样充满了离恨。
